How it all began

So as anyone who knows me well enough knows I'm a huge nerd, and I frequently attend conventions such as the Calgary Expo and Saskatoon Blitz. I've always loved cosplaying but I've found it difficult for a few reasons. Firstly, I'm terrible at sewing, even with my new(ish) sewing machine. Furthermore my build doesn't lend itself well to anime characters (I'm about twice the width of a standard anime character) and my face is too round to really pull off any characters properly. Also I run hot and overheat very easily, so anything heavy is a no-no.

But I digress, I was trying to think of a costume to work on for the next expo. My first thought was going to be Malthael from Diablo 3, but without knowing anyone with their own sheet metal workshop that one was prettymuch done before it started.

Then one day while watching SMASH - Smash Bros. Music Video by Screen Team *cough*shamelessplug*cough* I thought: why not Ganondorf? He's a big guy!

And so it began.
